We have good news about February winner Hatteras Island Meals, right after this quick update...

Charitocracy Boot Camp

Our daughter, Felicity, donated her time and talent to a collection of short training videos we're calling Charitocracy Boot Camp. Each one is super short (about a minute long) and walk you through one aspect of the Charitocracy website, such as voting, nominating, or resetting your password. Enjoy, and maybe learn something new? (Thanks for being awesome, Felicity!)

February 2022 winner Hatteras Island Meals

Last night we named Charitocracy OBX's 17th monthly winner! Congratulations to Hatteras Island Meals, nominated by donor finchem. They provide nutritious meals for lunch on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday to elderly or homebound clients. You can find their Facebook page here.

Now you have a week to sweeten the pot with a special one-time donation of any amount, which we'll add straight to the check we write to Hatteras Island Meals next week. In fact, we already had one nice big one come in, thanks! Then take a moment to feel good about your part in our collective $560+ grant to help with their ongoing work!

Have a great March and be sure to log into Charitocracy OBX to update your votes or nominate a new cause!
